Lyrics

Would you be re­deemed from ev­ery in­bred sin,
Have the Ho­ly Spir­it con­stant­ly with­in?
Make the con­se­cra­tion, trust in God, and then,
Let the Ho­ly Ghost come in.

Refrain

Let the Ho­ly Ghost come in,
Let the Ho­ly Ghost come in,
Make the con­se­cra­tion, trust in God, and then,
Let the Ho­ly Ghost come in.

Would you have the Spir­it in your heart to cheer?
Would you be re­lieved from ev­ery doubt and fear?
Make the con­se­cra­tion, trust in God, and then,
Let the Ho­ly Ghost come in.

Refrain

Do you want the fire of God to fill your soul,
Burn up all the dross, and sanc­ti­fy the whole?
Make the con­se­cra­tion, trust in God, and then,
Let the Ho­ly Ghost come in.

Refrain

Do you want the pow­er to make you true and brave,
So that you can res­cue those that Christ would save?
Make the con­se­cra­tion, trust in God, and then,
Let the Ho­ly Ghost come in.
